OneLiners: help get biblical understandingIt's not both good and evil, but good (grace) or evil (law):The choice is non-violence or non-existence.: Gandhi (OneLiner) To be or not to be, that is the quest-i-on: Shakespeare (OneLiner) Either make the tree good or corrupt: Jesus Christ (OneLiner) Allegory: choice is either grace or law, not grace + law = oxymoron Eg: Translators of the Bible OneLiner "It is preposterous order to teach first and learn after" Biblical Understanding =
Grace Glory (Solomon:
Proverbs
4)

"It is preposterous order to
teach
first and learn after".

Even God cannot be "one"
(only)
by
"division"( this/that
)
,
Nor by having two "contrary" conclusions about "them"; But "that God" is one slice
only:
"the God of all
grace",
"The Only True God" of 2 False/True Gods: Law/Grace, "The Only Wise God" of Two Gods: Foolish/Wise Gods, The ONLY "merciful" God of Merciless Law/Merciful Grace, "the blessed and only Potentate", "the living God of the living", "the God of all comfort" notably having no dis-comfort at all. Almost as if SHOUTING a HINT about how three best wishes for king & kingdom would be granted, Bible Translators said: Grace Mercy Peace is through JESUS CHRIST our Lord. A God, at rest, seems to be
one, who made,
a decision,
to be, living God of the living.
Many forget "the same" who said "it is
finished" also said "but the end is not yet"; Contrary things like law vs grace cannot coexist in peace; But Christ "is" our peace. Christ of Jesus->Christ is our peace who abolished the law(enmity) as if it were dung. Only what began can end(be mortal). Grace didn't begin; Law did, and law has an end. ("the end" to "endure unto" to be "saved"[graced] only has no mention of law at all) Prayerfully asking His Grace to law (kill) anyone, even thrice, even a subverter of churches like John was, will get the same answer yesterday, to day, and for ever: "My grace is sufficient for thee" (meaneth no law at all is required nor acceptable). Paul's "I die daily" and "that sown must die before quickened" of 1 Cor 15, is not about getting "stung" to "death" by a "surely die" bylaw of Gen 2:17; but rather about first dying to the Law in order to become alive unto HisGrace. Likewise reckon yourself dead to the law, lest all be subject to a dead end bylaw. And obviously "the end" is not
yet if
you're still hearing of wars
and rumors of wars;
for "the end" has no mention of war, nor mention of destructive "law worketh wrath". . The only man ever called "Satan" in the Bible: Peter, is also told: "when [not if] thou art converted, then strengthen thy brethren"; Peter did get converted & strengthens with: "the God of all grace" afterward make "you": perfect, stablished, strengthened, settled. Many, deceived by many, perceive solving the mystery is a 'thereafter' thing, but I can't find 'thereafter' in the Holy Bible, rather only the word "hereafter"; And here we are, nearly 2,000 years after the cross, still lying, crying and dying; And perhaps all the lying, crying, and dying won't change God's immutable will: "I will have mercy, and not sacrifice" meaneth I will have grace, and not law. Law abiding is futile folly if law makes people imperfect, and law can never make the comers thereunto perfect, especially if exhorted to: be ye therefore
"merciful",
even as your Father, which is, in heaven, is "perfect". (Holy Bible: Hebrews 7; Hebrews 10; Matthew 5:48; Luke 6:36) There's no with
or against
in "He that is not with me is against me", only against.
Isn't it odd how our justice system of law finds only some guilty, when a law God of Bible concluded them "all" guilty as hell by law; Odd, how our religious system of grace + law finds some not guilty, when the HOLY BIBLE says that His Grace has mercy upon "all". Evidently "there is no respect of persons with God", none; Only against God. You too can have partiality with an impartial God = an evangelastic oxymoron. If headead in the wrong direction, His Grace allows a U-turn; And also be assured that His Grace will never ever turn on U: Grace: "I will never leave thee nor forsake thee": "Friend". Law: "I will forsake you", the city, your fathers: "Enmity". Revelation, by
definition, is:
not about any closure, but rather it's all about dis-closure, not about covering up anything, but rather about uncovering everything, not about any unknown mystery, but rather about mystery made known unto us. Of
times, war
or peace, it's now AD->, time for peace, not peace + war.
Charity never faileth, whereas love + fear "prophecies shall fail". "Grace is sufficient", whereas grace + law is all ways insufficient. Truth is liberating, whereas truth + lie is hypocritical "bondage". Life is for "the livng", whereas life + death is a dead end, for all. No amount of lying, crying, or dying can ever change the immutable will of God. Rather it is we all who are being "changed" from glory to glory, as by the Spirit. Good Better Best, Never be rested, till your good is better, and better bested. Good: law, Better: law abolished, Best: no mention of law: sin & death at all. Holy Bible, Revelation thereof, "the end" thereof, ends with what's best for all. Such end[of law] declared from the beginning is for "you all", begins with "you". When adding, the result (law: sin & death) is computed 'from right to left'. No wonder a Hebrew Bible was read right to left, for therein law "added". And if only whatever was "added" can also be 'taken away', "He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second". The Blame Game
only results in being In-ducted into the Hall
of Shame
(Mt 12:37 "by thy words thou art condemned[lawed] or justified[graced]") (Hebrews
11: 13,39 notes "these all": all died" AND "received
not the
promise")
(Jonah
2:8 notes "they that observe lying
vanities[laws] forsake their own mercy")
Sin(Law)
brought death. Death will vanish when law vanishes, because
law was both the source and strength of sin, witch bringeth forth death. (For James 1:15 Notes: Sin, when "it is finished", bringeth forth death [not life]) A More Excellent Way is neither Broadmindead nor Narrowmindead. Broad Way(draw back)<-Narrow Way->(go on unto)More Excellent Way War in heaven, where understanding prevails among all? How $illy ! |

and perhaps such is Gandhi
clarified in the
light of
"with all thy getting, get understanding": Proverbs 4 (our greatest poverty is our lack of understanding) "the choice is
non-violence
or
non-existence"
(Mohandas/Mahatma Gandhi: Quotations: http://www.mkgandhi.org/ ) |
"we must learn to live together as
brother
and sister, or perish as fools"

"To be, or not to be, that is the question" ( Hamlet: Act III, Scene I ) perhaps the quest i on isn't a matter of life + death (not grace + law) ; but rather it is a matter life or death (grace or law: be or not be) for all "All the world's a
stage,
And all the men and women merely players: They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages". ( Jaques: As You Like It; Act II, Scene VII ) perhaps he knew more about the Bible, shew thereof, than we give him credit for |

"War does not end strife - it sows it. War does not end hatred - it feeds it. For those who argue war is a necessary evil, I say you are half right. War is evil. But it is not necessary. War cannot be a necessary evil, because non-violence is a necessary good. The two [law vs grace] cannot co-exist". Congressman John Lewis: speech to Congress prior to Oct 10/02 vote on Iraq war: http://www.house.gov/johnlewis/Iraqwar.htm |

"It's never ok to victimize (spiritually abuse, sacrifice, law) anyone , and shouldn't be considered normal, not even among children".

Mike Williams Bio: a former pastor, now a traveling grace & peace teacher; Founder of MWM and founder of www.gospelrevolution.com (note: audio tapes are also promoted on www.gospelogic.com) "You'll never be able to find a
minister,
who's actually read the Bible,
that can dispute the biblical fact the law is nailed to the tree. It's indisputable: that Jesus Christ freed us from the law; and by so many Bible verses the evidence is overwhelming. But many a minister will say it's only the ceremonial law of Moses that's done away; Yet 2Cor 3 clearly states: everything written in stone and in ink is to be "done away". And to the best of my knowledge what was written in stone were ten commandments". ( Mike Williams ... as the key speaker at a 1996 Grace Conference, held & taped in Kelowna, BC, Canada) If it's not even our own sins that condemn[law] us, but rather the sin of one man (Romans 5) passing death upon all; then what makes us think our self-righteousness will save us, if it says salvation, the eternal sort, is also by one, the "man" Jesus Christ, who brought salvation to all by grace...

Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding A University professor challenged his students with this question. "Did God create everything that exists?" A student bravely replied, "Yes he did!". "God created everything?" The professor asked. "Yes sir", the student replied. The professor answered, "If God created everything, then God created evil, since evil exists, and according to the principal that our works define who we are, then God is evil". The student became quiet before such an answer. The professor, quite pleased with himself, boasted to the students that he had proven once more that the Christian faith was a myth. Another student raised his hand and said, "Can I ask you a question professor"? "Of course", replied the professor. The student stood up and asked, "Professor does cold exist"? "What kind of question is this? Of course it exists. Have you never been cold"? The students snickered at the young man's question. The young man replied, "In fact sir, cold does not exist. According to the laws of physics, what we consider cold is in reality the absence of heat. Every body or object is susceptible to study when it has or transmits energy, and heat is what makes a body or matter have or transmit energy. Absolute zero (-460? F) is the total absence of heat; all matter becomes inert and incapable of reaction at that temperature. Cold does not exist. We have created this word to describe how we feel if we have no heat". The student continued, "Professor, does darkness exist"? The professor responded, "Of course it does". The student replied, "Once again you are wrong sir, darkness does not exist either. Darkness is in reality the absence of light. Light we can study, but not darkness. In fact we can use Newton's prism to break white light into many colors and study the various wavelengths of each color. You cannot measure darkness. A simple ray of light can shine in a world of darkness and illuminate it. How can you know how dark a certain space is? You measure the amount of light present. Isn't this correct? Darkness is a term used by man to describe what happens when there is no light present." Finally the young man asked the professor, "Sir, does evil exist"? Now uncertain, the professor responded, "Of course as I have already said. We see it everyday. It is in the daily example of man's inhumanity to man. It is in the multitude of crime and violence everywhere in the world. These manifestations are nothing else but evil. To this the student replied, "Evil does not exist sir, or at least is does not exist unto itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is just like darkness and cold, a word that man has created to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is the result of what happens when man does not have God's love present in his heart. It's like the cold that comes when there is no heat or the darkness that comes when there is no light". The professor sat down. The young man's name -- Albert Einstein |
| Paul The Apostle Paul
I do not frustrate (law: vex) the grace of God. Paul Opens and Closes his Pauline Epistles (except Hebrews: mini bible) with Grace: Greeting: Grace unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord JC. Discussion: the comparison of law vs grace allegories, as mystery made known. Conclusion: The grace (only) of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen. Paul is his angel in Revelation who plays the last trump it in the Holy Bible: The grace
of our Lord Jesus
Christ with
you
all. Amen.
